Review:

"Amy Scrinzi and Eva Phillips have immersed themselves in kindergarten best practices for years. They now use their expertise and skills to illuminate the mindset, processes, and practices essential to make kindergarten a place where children truly learn and develop in appropriate ways." --Sharon Ritchie, senior scientist, Frank Porter Graham Child Development Institute, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill "While reading this book I was reminded time and time again of why I LOVE teaching kindergarten! This book supports kindergarten teachers' efforts to create classroom environments where students develop a love and appreciation for learning, a sense of their competence and ability to make choices, and the sheer joy, wonder, and discovery that come with learning in the early years." -- Shakera Walker, senior manager, Teacher Leadership, and former kindergarten teacher, Boston Public Schools
